Course Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Caucasus have taken on unprecedented strategic and political importance for major actors such as the European Union, NATO, Russia and the U.S. in recent years. While rich in natural resources, scenic beauty, and vibrant cultures, the region continues to be hampered by endemic conflicts and political instability. The Geopolitics, Conflict, and Development in the South Caucasus course will offer closer investigation into the myriad factors that gave rise and, at times, help to preserve such issues. In addition, this course will explore diplomatic and economic strategies as they are negotiated in contemporary global frameworks and within the Post-Soviet context.<\/p>\n
